Hakafa means "encirclement."
We are a Reform congregation
of people who choose
to have no building,
no board of directors,
and no fund-raising.
Our CIRCLE has been growing
for nearly 40 years. But as we grow,
our intimate, caring, and
welcoming atmosphere remains.

Call for Volunteers!

The Hebrew word for loving kindness is chesed. Hakafa's Chesed Committee is looking for volunteers to help respond to the varied needs of our members like driving a member to a medical appointment or Hakafa event, delivering a challah to a new member, helping with a shiva, etc.

All are invited to join Hakafa's Yiddish Class!

We meet on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. in-person at the home of Henry and Ellen Criz and via Zoom. Our teacher is Dov Steinberg.

Students of all ages are welcome, and no prior knowledge of Yiddish is necessary. Each class is a self-contained unit, and anyone can join at any time and have fun and learn. For more information, contact Betsy Hersher, Sharon Gutan, or Ellen Criz.
